I’m currently sat here with a massive cup of tea (thanks Paul) just thinking. Of course thinking has made me want to do the thing that I love the most which is write a blog post all about it. Over the last few days I’ve not been in the greatest space, my health has basically been up and down and I’m a storm in a tea cup waiting to strike. I tend to give myself a hard time when I’m in that kind of mood, but do you know what it’s okay.
Sometimes things happen in life that are meant to challenge you, make you stronger and they can just be really bloody tough to deal with. If you need a few reminders today to just remind you that everything will be okay. Here is your moment, take one and breathe.
- It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed.
- It’s okay if you’re feeling sad.
- It’s okay if you’re unsure what path you want to be on & you’re not sure your direction in life.
- It’s okay if you break your routine & do something you enjoy.
- It’s okay to make mistakes.
- It’s okay to not be perfect.
- It’s okay to have some “me” time.
- It’s okay to do what is best for you.
- It’s okay to distance yourself from toxic people.
- It’s okay if you struggle to show your emotions.

Life can be tough, but guess what? You’re stronger than any challenge that comes your way!

Thank you for this post, I really needed to hear that everything will be okay. I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed with a lot lately, so this has helped to put my mind at ease x

This post is just what I needed to read right now. It’s important to remember sometimes that wherever you are in life, that’s ok!

This is such an important reminder. I feel like so many of us spend far too much time focusing on what we should be feeling, and telling ourselves that it’s wrong to feel a certain way, but it’s completely natural!
From your list, I definitely relate to ‘it’s okay to unfollow people who don’t make you feel good’. I used to feel so guilty for doing this, but I’ve started easing up on myself and realising that someone doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad person for you to put yourself first if you aren’t enjoying their content/what they’re posting about anymore.
I like the ones about adulting and not really knowing what you’re doing; they’re ones I definitely need to be more mindful of. I’m constantly focusing on what others are doing and what I should be doing at my age instead of remembering that everyone has different journey’s and there’s nothing wrong with doing things at our own pace.

This is just the post I needed to read right now! I feel a lot better now Amie! xx
I’ve kinda been in the same mood as my health has been far from good (second iron infusion at the hospital tomorrow) and I’m just so exhausted all the time. But like you said, it’s okay to feel this way. I usually just do whatever my mood makes me want to do. This is a fab post and a very good reminder to not give ourselves such a hard time. 🙂

This post was needed for me today! I’ve not been feeling too well either and when I don’t feel great and I just get down, going to be saving this post! X
I really needed this! It’s so important to remember that it’s okay when things are not going as well as they could. Great post – very powerful.
I love this post. I really needed to read this today. Thanks for sharing xx
This put a big old smile on my grumpy lil’ face! Such a lovely mood-boosting post.

This post is so good! It’s so easy to get bogged down with our own negative thoughts. Loved the message here. I hope you’re in a better headspace soon 💕 x

This was a well-meaning post Amie and loved the idea! Some of the points I don’t necessarily agree with though.
For example, being okay with struggling to say no. There are people out there who say yes to everything (i.e. being “okay” yet again) because they may want to please others or are worried about a negative reaction and not thinking about what they want and what would make them happy – leading to them often feeling drained by the obstacles life is constantly throwing at them. Hope it makes sense.

Love the validation that it’s okay to struggle to show my emotions. I really needed to hear that at the moment.

loved this! I need to remind myself of a lot of these things x
Ahh Amie! I needed this. So very much. Thank you. I struggle with my mental health as well as a disability and those who don’t have either, truly don’t understand how hard it is. Thank you for reminding me it’s normal to have feelings and cry, but it’s not ok to let others put you down.
I love this ❤ thank you.
